1933 Goudey: Heinie Schuble

From the back of the card: “One of the fastest runners on the Detroit Tigers is Heinie Schuble.”

There are a shocking number of players in the 1933 Goudey set that have the name or nickname “Heinie.” There are four, including a guy named Heinie Meine.

Schuble broke into the majors at age 20 in 1927, but didn’t have much a career. Over the course of seven seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals and Detroit Tigers, Schuble had just over a 1000 plate appearances, primarily as a shortstop and third basemen. The qualified praise of his speed from the back of the card must have been referring to going from first to third because Schuble stole only 19 bases in his career (in 26 attempts).
